Hi Bill,
Thanks for the reply post!
Having looked at the version installed in Help (as you suggested) it shows
version 6.00.280.1123. This would mean that I am running OE6 with IE
version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633.
Do either of these versions have flaws that make them incompatible? Both
are updated via Microsoft Official Updates site and I have no problems
updating from the site. My problem seems to come when installing individual
patches...

When you go to Help, about, in Outlook Express--what version number is
displayed?
It is possible to be running Outlook Express 5.x and IE 6, because of a flaw
in the upgrade process. It is important to fix this because the older OE
has some bugs which are not getting patched.

I am running Windows XP Pro and Internet Explorer 6, along with Outlook
Express 6 and am having problems installing Security patch Q837009.
Each time I try to install the patch I get a Microsoft Internet Explorer
Update message telling me that Outlook Express 6.0 needs to be installed -
Surely OE6 is part of IE6 and therefore installs when Windows is installed??
I have tried to download OE 6.0 as a separate download from IE and on trying
to install it I am told that I have a newer version already on my PC!
This is not the first time that I have experienced problems with installing
patches relating to Outlook Express - The problem seems to occur whenever I
download and install individual patches. Whenever I download and install
patches using Critical Updates on the Microsoft Update site, I don't seem to
have this problem.
Can anyone advise why this happens?
alba.
